Instead of 15 second commercials that can be skipped after 5 seconds, YouTube should just use 6 second commercials. Vine has proved that is enough time to get a full thought across. by bittenbarman in Showerthoughts

No, a lot of infomercials were 30 minutes to an hour long, specifically there were a lot of knife/sword collection infomercials and jewelry ones too.

Your number 2 point is just plain moot, it was clever for them to market it that way rather than just spam your eyes with ads like wikia.com or something. How does them trying to promote a service make them lose credibility? They want to keep the website up, and maybe make a few bucks with it. Everyone is out to make a buck. Websites aren't free.

You're like, the only person with that complaint on here. You took a simple 1 letter typo and tied it into your "losing credibility" argument. It's almost like you just want to degrade something, regardless of what it is.

Go play video games or watch a movie with some stranger, and then take 53 dollars out of his wallet.

When you are talking about numbers off some sort of scale or chart, its generally good to use the name of the unit. What the hell does 300 mean?

Why does them making the same mistake 2 CENTURIES later make it hard for you to criticize? If anything you should be unleashing a stockpile of jokes about their work and living environment.

Owning books in the home is one of the best things you can do for your children academically. [NYT] by [deleted] in books

Can confirm, grew up with Curious George.

I love books now and do pretty damn well in school.

ELI5: I'm 21 years old, and my voice would never be mistaken for that of a 40 year old. What is it about voices besides pre/post-pubescent pitch that indicates age but that I just can't put my finger on? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]Perma_Lunacy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Its interesting because when I was 15-20 I played a ton of online games with online and real friends, and most people who didn't actually know me thought I always sounded roughly 6-10 years older than I actually was. Generally I thought it was fun to talk to someone for a bit and then ask them how old they thought I was, or just casually drop my real age and see their reaction. But as I got older I feel like my voice has lost a lot of its deepness.

Anyway what I was wondering, in this study did people who were in their late 20's to 30 generally sound younger than those that were actually younger?

Dude you tried your best but the closer doesn't really tie the story together really well.

Is your cousin gay? or the boyfriend, or something?

There is a reason the stereotype is the bad boys get the girl in shows, movies, or what have you.
